I'm new to the forum but have been reading the threads for awhile. I bought my Daysailer last year and I believe it is a DSI but do not know the year. It needs all new lines really, but I have been making do with the ones I have for financial reasons. I live in Seattle now, but I'm from St. Louis originally.
So yesterday I went to raise the sail and the darn halyard snapped. My boat sits on a floating dock on a cradle so the last thing I want to do is have to take the mast down. I have never had the mast down and have only limited knowledge of how to do that anyway. Anyone have any ideas on getting the new halyard up there? Also, I'm not sure about the mechanical working of the top of the mast. Does the halyard just go through one sheave into the other and then down, or is it more complicated than that?
